Michael Washington produced a MessageBoard in Silverlight 3 using the CloudDB.com “cloud” database.
I checked Twitter yesterday and saw a post about CloudDB.com giving away free invites to their Beta test. I got an invite and logged into the service. A lot of credit goes to the creators of a very nice slick interface. You can easily create an “Application” and then a “Entity” (basically a table) in that application.

This web application has a desktop, a taskbar with notification icons and a start menu, floating windows that can be resized, maximized, or minimized. It resembles a client OS and takes advantage of the new Silverlight 3 Out-Of-Browser and Networking APIs.
Jeff Wilcox has post concentrated on CloudFront and Cloud Files.
The availability of distributed content delivery network (CDN)-like services for files to developers has only just started to begin. S3 was a first step; Silverlight Streaming provided some interesting concepts. I am wondering now if anyone else is experimenting with two very recent areas pushing this space: Mosso: “The Rackspace Cloud” - offers distribution on Limelight, $0.22/GB for the first few terabytes; CloudFront by Amazon: varies by edge location, starts at $0.17/GB for most locations.
